Transferred to Another World and Became a Teacher Chapter 14 - Incident

The sudden tornado was apparently caused by a newly appointed senior teacher.

Unaware of such a rumor spreading, I was pleased that my first day had gone surprisingly well.

"Aoi-san, you look happy."

"It's self-praise, but I think I did well on the first day." I smiled

Eliza laughed in response. "Yes, Strass-san also said you did well. After fire and wind, there’s water and earth. Perhaps you'll co to my class tomorrow."

I nodded at Eliza, who looked delighted, and ate the pasta with minced at. Although it looked brown and heavy, it was surprisingly light and delicious. The salad and bread were also quite tasty.

I enjoyed the al in the dormitory while chatting with Eliza.

The morning sunlight stread through the window. I turned over in my soft bed and gradually beca aware of my surroundings.

The room resembled a luxury hotel room. From the window, I could see a landscape dotted with Western-style castles and spires, reminiscent of a world heritage site.

While gazing at the sowhat surreal scenery, I sat up. Perhaps the tension from yesterday had worn out, so I had slept remarkably well.

I drank a glass of water in my sleepwear, washed my face, and changed. The feel of the smooth underwear and the crisp uniform made feel more relaxed.

When I arrived at the dining hall, Eliza was already there.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning."

We exchanged greetings and had breakfast together. Despite the unusual addition of a at pie to our bread and vegetable soup, it was surprisingly easy to eat in the morning.

When we reached the academy, Famous was waiting at the entrance. "Good morning. I have a ssage from the principal. Konominato-shi, you will observe Ord-shi's interdiate water magic class this morning. In the afternoon, it will be Eliza-shi’s earth magic class. That's all."

With that, Famous left.

"… I don’t know where the classroom is." I wondered if that was harassnt.

Eliza hurriedly pointed to the back. "Interdiate water magic is at the end of this floor! Go straight down the right corridor. Ah, let's have lunch in the school dining hall. I'll be waiting for you! See you later!"

After explaining, Eliza ran off.

In no ti, I was alone. Without any ans to check the ti, I wondered if I might be late.

Looking around, I noticed that the floor was deserted.

"Right corridor, at the end," I repeated Eliza's directions and hurried to the destination.

However, the academy was too big. Just getting to the end of the corridor took a significant amount of ti.

As the faint chi signaling the start of class echoed, I opened the classroom door. "Sorry, I'm late."

As I entered with an apology, all eyes, students and teacher alike, turned towards .

The one standing at the podium was the beautiful, blue-haired young man I had t on my first day at the academy.

"... It's you. I am Speyside Ord, the teacher of this class."

After a brief pause, Speyside frowned. "The tornado that suddenly appeared behind the school building yesterday was likely the special-grade spell called [Hurricane Vortex, Aerial Gaze]. Was it your magic?"

Speyside's words caused a commotion among the students.

I shook my head to deny it. "That was a modified original spell based on an interdiate spell. It's not special-grade."

Speyside's eyes widened slightly, and the students exchanged glances.

A student said, "I am Cote Hedge Butler, a third-year senior student. Creating an original spell is already an impressive skill, but modifying an interdiate spell to the special-grade level is hard to believe. Could you please explain?"

The student spoke with a gentle tone, but strangely, his words made everyone fall silent.

The student had pinkish-vermillion hair, was around sixteen or seventeen years old, not very tall, and slender but not frail.

I nodded at Cote's words and held out my hand. "This is a water magic class, so let demonstrate water magic…"

I showed them the original spell I had demonstrated to Glenn and Strass.

The classroom beca noisy, and Speyside looked at with a stern expression.

On the other hand, Cote nodded with interest. "… Excellent."

For so reason, Cote's words were clearly audible.

After that, Speyside resud class.

The class was simple yet got the point across. While there were so roundabout explanations in so places, everyone could understand.

I observed quietly until the end, and Speyside concluded the class smoothly.

I see. This was how teachers conducted classes here.

As I was about to leave the classroom with that thought in mind, the student nad Cote walked over to . "Aoi-sensei, are you heading for lunch?"

"Yes, I plan to eat with Eliza-san in the dining hall," I answered.

Cote smiled kindly and nodded. "Would you mind if I joined you? I'd love to learn more about magic."

Since I couldn't refuse, I agreed.

"Huh?! Cote-kun?!"

Eliza's first words in the dining hall made Cote smile awkwardly.

"W-what's wrong? Did Aoi-san do sothing again…?"

"I did nothing," I replied, feeling offended by her words.

Cote smiled wryly. "A new teacher demonstrating an original spell equivalent to special-grade is not not nothing."

Eliza put her hand on her head and laughed dryly. "… Aoi-san, you’re already the talk of the academy. Creating an original spell takes years of research. It's a remarkable achievent."

"I didn't think I'd stand out."

"Of course, you will… Well, what's done is done, so let's try to keep a low profile from now on, okay?"

"Understood."

Eliza sighed with relief and nodded.

"Good. Now, let's eat." Eliza smiled brightly.

The al began, and I enjoyed the dishes laid out in front of . This ti, it was cutlets, salad, onion soup, and bread.

The academy always served delicious als, which made very happy.

Eliza looked at with a complicated expression. "… Aoi-san, isn't the attention bothering you? I feel like running away right now."

I looked away from Eliza, who was munching on bread despite her words, and glanced around.

The dining hall had a high ceiling and many skylights, giving it a spacious and open feeling. But at the mont, it felt oppressive.

This was because, since we sat down, we had been the focus of many stares, mostly from female students.

"I'm aware, but I'm not bothered." I looked at the likely cause.

Cote had a troubled smile.

"I'm sorry. I usually eat in a private room, so they're probably curious," Cote said jokingly.

Eliza’s face twitched.

"I think it's because Cote-kun is very popular with the female students…" Eliza murmured with dry laughter.

Later, I heard that Cote Hedge Butler was the heir of a great noble family in the Cote Highlands Federation, one of the Six Great Nations. He excelled in both academics and athletics and was known for his exceptional friendliness among the noble children.

Thus, in this academy full of noble offspring, he was regarded as a model student.

The sight of Cote eating with soone in the dining hall was extrely rare and beca a big incident among female students.
